    That and I’m still not convinced the cold doesn’t ruin the batteries on these things. I keep my e-scooter indoors until the temperature is consistently above zero, which sucks in Canada.

      I’ve been riding my e-scooter all winter and haven’t had any noticeable issues with battery life or health, if that means anything. Ninebot Kickscooter E2 if you’re wondering.

        I’m just doing it out of precaution, I know most electronics and especially batteries don’t like the cold. I had an iphone that was never the same after it shut down on me in really cold weather so its more of a precaution.

        My e-scooter loses a lot of range even in single digit positive numbers. I can’t imagine using it in sub-zero weather and I need my range to get to work and back without bringing my charger with me.

      I bring my bike battery indoors during the day below -10°, but it overnights about 0° all winter.
